Connectors for Breadboard and PCB: GPS module EM-506
« on: April 25, 2024, 11:24:17 am »
Hi everyone.
I'm trying to create a project with an EM-506 GPS Module.
The problem is that I can't understand what types of connector I should use to test the GPS module (which already has a cable with a female connector) on:
.- Breadboard,
- And subsequently also on PCB;

Sorry if it's a trivial question, but even searching on the internet I'm not sure which connectors are suitable.
I also tried to consult the datasheet, but unfortunately I can't find the information I need.

Additionally, where do you recommend I buy them?

I'll add two photos so maybe you can understand better.
Thanks a lot to everyone.

Looks like JST SH 6 pin series. Take a look for EM-506 sellers, they also often sell a cable with JST socket.

 You can buy kits of those type of connectors from eBay and Amazon, measure the pin spacing to make sure they are the same. Crimping tiny connectors is challenging though, I have damaged quite a few pins when crimping and now use a mixture of solder and crimp tool...

In my GPSDO projects, I have used GPS boards which include a micro USB socket. It makes testing/configuring much easier.

Does the GPS end of that cable unplug?
If so, either get a cable to fit and mod it with duPont pins to suit breadboarding, or get something like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/18081

If not, you need the matching male pin header + one of these: http://www.proto-advantage.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=3800003 and a six pin strip of 0.1" SIL pin headers.
